Anyone have a guide to do a screen replacement on TD?
I dropped mine on the floor and it got a little scrats on the lover right corner.
I can only operate the left side of the phone with a pen and the right side do not work.
Can you also give a link where to buy?
Arrhh
Sorry Dude - Bad luck
No insurance ?
I thought they made the body and screen extra strong with a extra glass plate in between so the screen and body of the TD could fall a few times before it breaks?

I will soon be opening up my phone (T-mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition) to replace the glass screen with a new one ordered online. I've never even opened the phone before and was wondering if someone has performed this operation before. I would really appreciate any pointers, tricks, cautions, pictures, etc.
Thanks.
lawrence... where did u get the replacement??
i wonder if they got replacement cases! i chiped mine
The company I bought the screen from was GetHighTech, Inc, in California. By coincidence, they are about an hour's drive away from my home.
They only sell the glass screen and high capacity battery replacements. The screen comes with absolutely no documentation or instructions. I just got it a few minutes ago.
just wanted to see if you had any luck with the changeout.
Screen replaced successfully: observations
It was a tricky operation, but I finally managed to replace my broken touch screen. And the patient is alive, and only a little worse off for the experience.
I was held back for a week until I could get the right size torx screwdrivers to remove the back cover. Once inside, it was a very very tricky process slicing off the broken screen with a razor blade. It was glued to the lcd display. This would have been hard even if the screen was not shattered. Definitely needed goggles to protect against flying splinters of glass. I used cotton swabs and 99% alcohol to clean the glass dust off the glue around the edges of the lcd, then I put the new screen on while that residual gum was still a bit tacky.
There was a very thin existing plastic cover over the lcd in between the glass touch screen and the rest of the lcd. Since it did not come off with the glass, I left it in place even though it had a couple of small scratches from contact with the broken glass. It seems like it was there to keep dust off the lcd or something like that.
This was my first time inside the phone. I noticed that replacing the whole LCD component would have been a trivial task by comparision to replacing the glass alone. And even easier would have been adding a new battery.

I replaced my touchscreen a few weeks ago. Like Lawrence said it's a little tricky and you need to be patient.
I bought my touchscreen from www.pdasmart.com/pdaphone.htm for $75 and they gave great instructions.
thank you for your kind answer
hmmm, seems like it is nice to live in US ... where all the things for XDA are almost readily available :wink:

Protective Acryclic Cover over the Digitizer
I have an odd problem. I have an SX56 with a broken protective cover. The protective cover is the acrylic sheet that sits between the digitizer and the outside world. Everything else works fine including the digitizer. I have found every replacement part except that cover. I've even tried local plastic stores. They don't carry the proper thickness (0.125mm).
Any thoughts or sources besides sending it in for a $200 repair?
So I just got the IS before the weekend and Ive been setting it up and playing with it ever since.
Now, what I've noticed, is a small piece of silver metal stuck between the screen and the phone body. Its on the left side approx in the middle of the screen. I though it was a scratch, but I can clearly se the plastic sandwitched between the glass and the body bein bent. So,does anybody else have this? Is it part of the phone, some sensor or touch adapter/device? I dont really think so but just thought I'd check wi you guys.
Definitely a production fault.
Could you keep us posted on the repair, or replacement please?
I'm quite interested as I have a faulty touchscreen, and I'm wondering how long it will take for a repair.

The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen capable I think?
Would be interesting/good if that is true.
Samsung service centre told me before that the original amoled screen, touch panel and glass comes as a single unit/ part.
Hope you are right.

The capacitive touch panel IS the glass. You cannot order any glass and place it on top of the screen. You need a touch panel, and yes, they come as an assy with the screen.
For 100% You will need a touch panel.
i still have the touch on the screen and am still able to use the phone i know its a oem screen from samsung as the screen was new when got it from shop ... funny how people jump the gun and think that somethink that (cant be done ) can be done im happy to go on fb ring txt and everything else on this phone with the glass OFF!!! and is 100% useable can even upload a video to youtube and will show you lot wrong hahaha whos larfing now ..... my ass you need to go out and buy the whole lot ... no you dont as i have showen you . the way i found out was i had a old samsung i9000 and it was busted to hell . so had a go at taking the screen away from the bk and saw that you have the screen then touch panel glued together then the touch to the glass so i fort with my working i9000 (with cracked glass only) i start tapping away from the front and there you have it . it started to work and then atm to stop me from scraching the touch sheet coz its not glass its like a soft plastic i am using a screen guard and its working a charm .... show me wrong people but im sat here with the glass off my phone and phone still working . i give this job a 9/10 on hardness tho so good luck

hi, if anyone is still interested. this is really pssible, ive separated the outer glass 5 min ago. used a thin sheet of plastic and the heat of a hair dryer. it took me an hour to do so
The glass would need to be capacitive touchscreen
Funny how people can't seem to be able to read.
He's PROVEN separate glass to be the case, it's not a question.
Now whether or not a new glass can be fitted onto the old capacitive layer just like that remains to be seen...

i can CONFIRM, that the outer Gorilla glass is just a tempered glass thats glued to lcd/digitizer assebly with transparent silicone-like glue. the touchscreen works 100% fine without the gorilla glass. ive ordered the replacement for outer glass and will report back when i get it and if it works right with some video footage. unfortunately i wil have to wait for it for about 3 week, because its located in china
Did the new glass worked?
Hello there, since I recently got my glass look like a willow tree at the late autumn (dropped my Galaxy S and the glass is all cracked up) but the touchscreen is still intact and fully operational and working flawlessly I am interested on your progress to know if it's possible to fix just the glass and to get eventual information on how you did it if you succeeded with replacing just the glass, info on where you got a new glass and stuff would also be much appreciated in case your homemade repair worked. Thanks in advance.
Any news? The ten days should be over now....
Same problem
Any news? I have the same problem.

IT IS POSSIBLE... but i have failed
Last days i have finally try to change only the glass on my i9000. No success, but i was very close.
After i have clean the remaining glue from the glass that i buy i have follow the steps from the youtube video from post before. I mention that S3 glass seems to be more flexible and the glue a little more soft.
I have warm up the display surface but not to warm (after i remove the main-board and other).
After i have started to take the glass piece by piece with my swiss multi knife (big mistake)
I have proceed with careful until i have started to be more and more sure at me, and, as you can imagine i have make the big mistake - broke the display.
I don't know if in glass removing process or when i have try to remove the remaining glue with a microfiber tissue i have press a little to hard and i broke the display (a little rift).
I have failed but i am sure if you have patience and more appropriate tool you can succeed.
Please take in calculus that without the glue between the two parts the screen is more reflexive and the contrast is not like before. There is no electrical connection between the touch and the display.
Now the touch under the rift on the screen is not working anymore and the phone is almost useless. The top part of display is working perfect!
Sorry for my english and here is some pictures:
Nice
Hello. Like 1 week ago i had an exam and we did put phones in a class.I finished exam,i took phone and i went home.After 4-5 hours, i was using my phone and i rotated it to be in landscape and i saw that display is scratched / broken.Possible to be scratched because i feel a line on top phone (not on display) near samsung watermark,or possible to be scratched + broken.Let's say that is a scratch.In that day when i saw it,this scratch was up to half the screen in the diagonal.After 1-2 days, this scratch went until bottom left (in diagonal) lol.So,I'm thinking that is broken,but I'm not sure because it feel just like a scratch.The display is working fine,i don't have any problems.
So,my question is,is there any solution to make scratch "invisible",to dissapear?I saw on youtube some videos with i**** or other phones,but i didnt tried,in one of the videos was used banana lol.I won't buy another screen,i think it will cost around 100€...I wanted to sell my phone for like 100€.But now with that scratch...
PS: If i could find the guy who did this...I will request him 250€ (the amount which i paid for s advance),i will broke his phone and i will punch him
Rob, there's no real method to remove a scratch or fix a broken glass... The only option available is to change the touch screen part (dangerous for display if you are not expert) or the whole assembly (touch screen+display+middle body)
I remember once I had "Displex" paste, really fixed scratches but it's only for plastic (like non-touch phones), basically is a polish paste (don't use on glass, otherwise will be full of scratches)
My advice is: punch him if you find who did this

Unfortunately that is not a scratch but a crack. Our display is composed of 4 layers. Display, touch, silicon, gorilla glass. Your glass is cracked. Fact is that you can buy glass really cheap (10e) but technology/tools (needed to remove and apply silicon) to replace it is not cheap. You could try to find out if anyone in your city does this kind of repair but I doubt that they will charge less than 50e. Good thing is that crack will not affect function of your phone in future, but obviously you cannot sell it for 100e any more.
Recently dropped my phone on concrete over the weekend. I have a single crack running from the top right hand corner to the left side about 1/3 of the way down. It isn't a terrible crack, but I would like to repair it. Everything I see seems like I have to replace the LCD and digitizer. Has anyone tried to use a windshield repair kid on a crack like this? Will it work or at the very least stop the potential spreading? If so, do I need to do anything special or just treat it like a windshield?

While it is a crack there is a small piece open.
Een you put the windshield liquid chemicals on the crack it is possible the liquid comes inside the display/phone.
An screen protector foil could be an alternative.

Do not attempt to fix with windshield repair. Put a tempered glass screen protector over it until you can get it repaired.
Agree. The liquid glass fix also requires pressure to actually work. Just pouring the fixative in the crack not gonna fix it.
